Honda CR-V

"screen very hard to see even with brightness put all the way up--no fix offered"

"The navigation is dark & very hard to see, even on a bright day"

"The screen where the map is displayed if often washed out in bright sunlight. Honda had me adjust the settings, shut the skylight but during the summer the screen is invisible in bright sunlight!!"

"The slope of the screen is such that daylight makes it so hard to see the backup camera display that the backup camera is more dangerous than useful"

"Light sensor works intermittently, setting lights for nighttime in broad daylight"

"The screen was very good up until about 50000 miles. All of a sudden it went down. The range no longer is shown on the screen. I did not go to the dealer because I thought I would have to pay a lot to get it fixed and it wasn't a critical part of the car's function (i.e. going from place to place). It is handy, though, to know the range."

"at 4000 miles had to "replace gauge control module & rewrite" Honda referred to it as the MASK which they describe as a Combination Meter Assy.""

"The backup screen would go blank if something else, perhaps the lights, was turned on. This car is mostly driven by my wife. I’ve forgotten the details but I’ve seen the screen go blank on occasion after something electronic was turned on. She is too busy to get it fixed."

"I don't seem to be able to switch between voice calls, GPS, and music"

"The AUX option on the radio, crashes at times when the IPod is attached and playing. To reboot the car has to be shut off and restarted. Then the AUX is OK for a while."

"Our CRV will not consistently interface our iPod Nano with the sound system. After a short time, it will show a "USB error." Research on-line shows that this is a known Honda CRV problem with the iPod interface. No fixes to date! Maddening!!!"

"ipod cuts out intermittently and receive an error message until turn engine off/on. Problem goes away after I "reboot" engine usually three times"

"USB interface doesn't work with some iPod models. Honda was unable to provide any satisfactory resolution. I had an older iPod classic which does work with the interface. Still have occasional problems but nothing too bad. The USB interface on our"

"iPOD with original cords inconsistently stops playing. The only way to correct is to stop car and turn off engine. Have taken back to Honda dealer who denied problem, then took back 10 minutes later when problem occurred again. They refused to acc"

"Controls don't work with new phone software updates and is constantly losing connection. Command buttons don't work either"

"iPod would not play when connected. The car did not register that the iPod was attached. When an older iPod was attached, the car did register that. But, even then, the iPod would play for awhile and then stop. The only way it would start to play again was if you turned off the car and restarted. But that did not work all the time"

"iPhone music will not display or play properly thru USB connection"

"Connected iPod works inconsistently. Will freeze then must stop car, turn off engine, restart engine to “reboot” then hope it will work. Mostly I have given up. This will be a major consideration when it is time to purchase a new vehicle."

"If a smart phone is changed, the model no. does not have to save on the system."

"The USB doesnt read everything from the phone so you need to have the BLUE TOOTH then the bt interferes in the music in the gps it is a VERY distracting ANNOYING thing"

"The speaker for your cell phone has a high pitch sound on the receiver end. Forums say this is an issue with either the software or speaker. It is very annoying and makes negative experience in the hands free mode. This is a great car but appears to be an ongoing problem that Honda refuses to address. Hands free calling is essential in most states."

"Navigation screen when blank... the screen had to be replaced and dealer's service department didn't seem to be surprise. Even was able to obtain a replacement screen quickly... in-stock??? This vehicle has been a disappointment."

"the 2014 CRV came with a old navigation system software version"

"very poor navigation and can not be trusted as it will send you in the wrong direction even on roads that have been in existence for many years. It also doesn't know where we are half of the time. It's the worst navigation I have ever experienced"

"poor voice recognition, unable to find POI, considering apple/siri, this is in the dark ages"

"Map missing some common streets and locations. Often chooses incorrect local route"

"It doesn't work and its extremely hard to work when it does"

"HAD TO BE REPLACED"

"back up camera is weak and screen can't be seen well in brighter daylight thus cancelling the benefit of having that feature. The dealer has not been able to fix this. We have friend with 2016 CRV and that camera works much better. The gps works well and has been updated once."

"The map was bad when we got the vehicle and it has been updated twice with very little improvement. Losey map system. I used it in work for a period of time and had to carry another small GPS to fine many location"

"The phone and Bluetooth often interfere with each other: when using GPS the voice stops working. I don't have a handsfree way to actually answer the phone Now with a new iPhone it feels like less trouble not to even try to pair with the Bluetooth."

"Sometimes when I'm paired with my phone I'm switched to my wife's phone without any prompting from me. Then I can't get my phone repaired and can't get it to do anything. Its like it has a thing for my wife's phone."

"Had to have dealer pair the phone"

"The first phone I connected to the CRV was a flip-phone which connected with no problem. When I got a new Samsung smartphone it would not connect as hard as I tried, despite trying a number of times."

"To have hands free work I need to turn phone bluetooth off and back on after engine has been started for it to work"

"The phone has bad sound for the people I speak to from the car"

"The car sometimes thinks that the phone is in the middle of a call as it pairs with the phone"

"It occasionally didn't connect the phone properly to the bluetooth speaker system"

"Pairing was problematic in both cases (two phones), and I had to take the car to the phone people to get it untangled"

"Bluetooth connection between car and phone is not maintained. It appears when Honda was contacted that they NEVER update car Bluetooth technology although phones are constantly being updated hence you have to check which phones are compatible with c"

"Lots ,of problems with phone. Not easy to use hands free. Sometimes sound is bad"

"When streaming audio over bluetooth, there is a delay of 2-3 seconds that is not present when using the auxiliary cable"

"It does not stay connected. I just stopped using it. Total pain in the rear"

"Car disconnects from cell phone and then reconnects to cell after a 10 second delay. And it continues to do that. Dealership stated it was the iPhone's fault and not the cars"

"Bluetooth connection dis-engages intermittently during phone calls"

"Would connect then disconnect and it would repeat this sequence"

"Drops connection with phone and ipod. Engine must be restarted to correct."

"After it gets paired, it would just stop working suddenly at times goes back on and off several times, many times at around 10 second intervals. People on other end could never hear us well."

"We got newer iPhones and they're a bit problematic as the car is older."

"The Bluetooth pairing unexpectedly failed. I had to figure it out on my own. It resolved after I uninstalled all my contacts and speed dial and started all over again to re install my contacts and go through the pairing process again. This time it seemed the pairing process corrected itself, but it took a lot of my time and inconvenience to figure it out and fix it."

"poor reception"

"Rasping noise occasionally from speakers for about 2 months and happening verymoccasionally. Problem completely dissapeared 2 months ago and now no issues"

"make a loud pop sound then it would quite and later restart again"

"Radio just stopped working."

"The fact that there's no way to download new software to the hands-free system is ridiculous. To buy a new system was over $600. If there was a way to download new software I would be willing to pay $100-$150."

"Driver side speaker does not work"

"Honda uses cheaper quality of speakers, compare it to Bose system that Nissan uses, that limits entertainment for long drives."

"Driver information system is too complicated"

"cruise control does not resume after braking. You have to reset it to original speed."

"Not certain if related to iPhone updates or Honda"

"When we purchased a new phone in 2017 it wasn't compatible with the voice recognition and they can't update the software. We"

"Navigation has never worked using voice controls. The dealer gave us an "800" number to call, but we never did. Dealer admitted to a problem with voice control"

"The whole navagation system sucks. The phone everything. Its a good car minus this crap"

"Since we purchased the Honda, the Voice Control Commands have never executed any of our commands. Sometimes, it can not hear the command - probably because there is too much noise by the vehicle when driving. Others, it just does not understand us. The system is totally useless to us."

"This is the poorest designed infotainment system I have ever come across. It almost never understand a voice command. Setting destination by voice is nearly impossible. For some reason, Honda decided on this version of the info system to have the owner program in a list of people to call. Doesn't work well, is a terrible pain to manage and will only call by voice the previously programmed. Overall, a very poorly thought through system. When researching various vehicles prior to purchase, including CR reports and video, there was no mention of the infotainment system. My assumption was it was similar to other systems I have used. I was quite surprised when the salesman, after the purchase explained how this system worked. I think Honda has improved this in more recent years but the system provided is really terrible."

"Dash A/C does not provide cool air"

"Hole in compressor the required replacement"

"the car had 36500 miles - just out of warranty and the A/C stopped working. repair was over$600 -"

"The unit needs to be replace at a cost of $1,200... dealer is stating it is defective and needs to be replace to fix. Buttons do not light up and auto mode is no longer indicated on the display."

"I felt like the air conditioner stopped cooling after running approx. 30 minutes. When I took it in they check it and stated that they could not find anything wrong. However, I did notice on the bill that they replaced a nut and bolt which cost les"

"Changing system to any other setting from Auto causes the vehicle to not want to return to Auto mode. Honda Dealer replaced AC unit and it still does it"

"The external temperature sensor was reading incorrect temperatures and the heater was coming on instead of the A/C. Was able to just replace the sensor vs the complete wiring harness"

"It did not blow any air at times, then after a few minutes it would Blow air took it in twice to get it fixed . Second visit they found I needed a new blower, the car was still under warranty so it cost Me nothing"

"poor air flow to left dash vents"

"Only works on low speeds and air flow does not also come out the vents you select"

"For some reason, this seems to be a weak point in this car. This is the third time I've had to have it repaired. It happens suddently, and I find that there is no air conditioning available, which can be a problem on a long road trip or in Atlanta in the summer."

"The fan blower squeaks at high speeds... going to have bearings checked during next service."

"not sure what exactly was the cause - but the dealership said dumb luck."

"The condenser and evaporator both had to be replaced according to the Honda Dealership that I bought the vehicle from brand new."

"The car wasn't,t getting cooled"

"The air will not blow as low as it should. I have had it repaired 3 times"

"We noticed there was no heat coming from the driver's side while the passenger's side was normal. Service bulletin indicated use of grease at the factory to attach hoses to heater core caused a clog in the system. An 8-hour procedure to flush the heating system removed the grease. We had 38,000 miles on the CR-V, beyond the 36K warranty. Honda covered the repair. Great service!"

"heater core got filled up with deposits and needed to be flushed to clean it. Heater was not providing heat in winter. Known problem/defeect not covered by warranty."

"The driver side of the car does not get sufficient heat in the outlet next to the window. It improves slightly when I turn on the recirculation feature. It gets worse when the weather gets colder. I have read that there is a flushing kit Honda has supplied to their dealerships to fix this problem. It removes corrosion from the heater core. This is no longer covered under warranty so I haven't paid to have it fixed. I feel there should have been a recall rather than a service I have to pay for."

"The heater core became plugged. Replacing if involved taking out the entire dash."

"Heater core clogged"

"Low heat output for first 20 minutes of driving"

"The car does not always come up to operating temperature when the outside temperature is 10 % or lower. As a result, Inside temperature is not comfortable"

"The front window defrost system fails to defrost the drivers side of the front window during snow storms. I have had to stop on the freeway to remove ice from the window so I can see to drive. This is extremely dangerous"

"My thermostat needed to be relaced. It was not closing causing the vehicle to not warm up properly"

"Won't warm up to temperature in cold weather. I know it's a thermostat that opens too soon or stays partially open from experience. Neither Honda or the dealer Schlossmans of Milwaukee will fix it because Honda says on the problem I opened with them that the dealer gets a bad mark for replacing a good part. Two dealers say it is opening and closing so won't replace it. Told them all they and Honda have lost a customer and I will not recommend their vehicles to anyone. Will never buy one again"

"Car takes a long time to warmup"

"We had low heat coming from the drivers-side vent. The problem appears to have been a partially clogged heater core which restricted the flow of coolant to the driver's side of the heater core, this causes the heat temperature to be lower coming from the driver's side vents than the passenger's side vents. The dealer flushed the system to remove the block and the heat began to work much better."

"Vehicle features two heater cores for dual heating. The driver side core plugged and had to be serviced. The car was still under warranty, so costs were covered."

"The air coming out of the heater vents was not coming out very warm and passenger side was warmer than driver side. Honda dealer flushed system and reinstalled fluid."

"Heater core was clogging with corrosion and not heating up the drivers side of the car effectively."

"No heat in cold weather. Honda and dealers said it worked fine. Replaced thermostat myself and now works fine. Reason to not buy another Honda lies on Honda and their dealers lac of care for their customers."

"Very little heat was provided to the driver side"

"Heater core needed to be replaced. No defrost on the drivers side during winter-unsafe to drive"

"Cold air blowing especially on driver side. Dealer said was an issue with 2014 model. Dealer ran CLR thru system to remove build up in system (recommendation from Honda). Although Honda did not see this as a "Ëœrecall', the dealer did the repairs at no charge."

"The heating coil has become clogged; back-flushing didn't work. No heat on driver'side; passenger's heat fine. Service bulletin for this problem published, but not a recall. Out of factory warranty; will cost about $1800. to fix."

"Car was quite new when we noticed that it was not cooling properly. Dealer serviced under warranty; told us it was coolant leakage"

"Bought vehicle in late October 2014. Did not use A/C until this May 2015. The A/C did not work. Dealer said there might be a leak or refrigerant was never put in. Top up refrigerant with dye in it yesterday and will schedule a follow up to check for"

"AC was not blowing cold air. Dealer fixed the problem. In short time same problem occurred. took to a different dealer that said problem never fixed and there was no refrigerant in the car"

"The heater core both became plugged and then leaked into the passenger compartment after being flushed. The repair was over $1100."

"small leak repaired."

"Croaking noise from rear differential. Though American Honda TSB 14-047 is published and known, it's hard to get Canadian dealer to find the TSB equivalent. Now waiting for new differential pump"

"pulled apart at 2000 miles"

"High pitch whine or howl around 60 mph"

"At dealer service, techs informed me of a contamination of oil/grease/fluid in differential. Fluids had to be drained and replaced"

"Rear differential pump motor replaced under warranty. Failing pump made a very subtle noise, it took a long time to verify the noise was actually occurring."

"I had a shuddering issue at 25-35 mph. Replaced fluid, added an additive. Issue better but not completely resolved"

"Slight vibration at 25-30MPH, repaired by dealer for known issue by a TSB. Reprogrammed transmission and replaced fluid at about 22,000 miles - never had issue again."

"See comments previously given,"

"The Honda CRV had a driveline vibration from the day that we purchased it. It was only recently that Honda had a recall or service bulletin on the rear driveshaft. Unfortunately it was already out of warranty so I had to pay 10% deductible which was still almost $300. The total repairs on the rear driveshaft for almost $3000. Finally after we have had the car for over five years it drives very smooth now"

"i took the car off the lot. as soon as i got on the highway i felt a vibration at highway speeds 70 mph and above. i was taken to the dealer 3 times and the issue was never resolved. they replaced 2 tires and balanced the tires but the issue remains"

"I have had the CRV in the dealers shop over 5 times for a vibration issue. They have performed various tasks which have lessened the vibration, but it always returns after driving for some period. It has NEVER completely been resolved. It just resumed after a trip of 500 miles. Due to go back to the shop asap"

"vibrates when shifting to higher gear"

"Increasing noise, vibration; had to replace intermediate shaft and propeller shaft bearings"

"Honda replaced axles and torque converter to fix vibrations. Took them two years of complaints before they did."

"Was not noticeable when I purchased it, but the shake at slow acceleration I find out was a known problem. Several service bulletins issued on this problem. I suspect the dealer was glad to unload it on a unsuspecting buyer. I changed the differential oil with no change, I will need to contact a Honda dealer."

"Drive line vibration when starting out"

"An axel was leaking fluid and was replaced by dealer during a regular maintenance visit."

"Bearing in drive shaft becalmed noisy"

"rear axle broke and fell off at 2000 miles"

"replaced 3 wheel bearings and an axel cv joint"

"Passenger side half shaft leaking and required full replacement. Covered by warranty."

"same / related to problem listed before"

"Had to replace axle seal"

"Driveshaft bearing and one rear wheel bearing where replaced to quiet driveline noise. Problem was not entirely resolved,but improved."

"tire sensors repeatedly indicating a flat/low pressure"

"As noted, car would not start, battery was replaced but why it failed is unknown to me"

"I have been left stranded or unable to start the car in my driveway numerous times. The vehicle, covered under an extended warranty until 4/17/21, is now on its fourth battery. Ontario Honda won't fix it, or perhaps they just don't know how. Or, maybe the fix is so costly that Honda chooses to ignore the problem. They claim that the trouble is not with the battery and blame me for not driving enough! I know plenty of people who own late model vehicles and drive much less than I do, but their cars start right up every time. The salesman knew I was retired and not driving to work every day; so, if the car wasn't suitable for me, he should have revealed that upfront. After several emails and a meeting with the customer service representative, service manager, and head technician, all they did was install a solar panel, attached to the battery, which supposedly provides a trickle charge to keep it from dying. This is inconvenient and a highly unsatisfactory resolution for many reasons. I sent a certified letter to the dealership and contacted corporate headquarters, all to no avail. I'm stuck with a lemon and am now seeking a Lemon Law attorney. The Honda is by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned, my first car being a 1959 Studebaker Lark."

"All Season Tires seem to be the problem. In the snow & slush, the car slid all over the road. We had to get snow tires. These tires were bald (would not pass state inspection in) within 3 years of buying, and that is with having snow tires on 6 months of the years. Very poor quality tires!"

"We feel that this was just normal wear."

"If I leave the headlights on automatic, the battery will drain overnight, requiring a jump start. If I listen to the radio with the engine turned off, the battery will discharge to the point it needs a jump start. An engine problem not mentioned in the questions is the valve train actuator sometimes spinning noisily at startup for about 20 seconds when the temperature is below 50 degrees on the first start of the day. Honda knows this is a problem on CR Vs but the dealer refuses to repair unless I leave it over night."

"I don't drive very much. My car is 11 months old and only has 2,600 miles on it. As a result the battery keeps going dead - 4 times already. I took the car back to the dealer and they replaced the battery under warranty"

"Bad battery was replaced under warranty. Had to call roadside assistance for battery jump a couple times"

"Dissatisfied with length of time the batter lasted"

"Several jump starts needed, but battery tested okay several times, then it didn't"

"Recently, I had an issue where the electrical system, for no discernible reason, failed and the car would not start. The lights on the dash flickered after my attempt to start the car and the starter would barely click. An auto service came out and checked the battery and the alternator and found no fault. I believe (but have no proof) that the problem stemmed from an attempt to start the engine wherein the key was released before the engine started, and an immediate attempt to start it again"

"Bought car new, battery wouldn't start car 9 months in. On my 4th battery. Am told battery is fine, but something (which no one can figure out) eventually makes it that it won't start. I can leave work (car starts), get to the grocery (doesn't start), jump car drive home. go to friends later (car starts. it is just different and you never know. Usually begins after the batteries are about 1 yr old. once i get a new battery it is good for about a year."

"The battery failed had to be replaced at 36000 Miles"

"Battery blistered and lost charge"

"Battery would go dead leaving us stranded on several occasions. Neighbor had the same problem with her CRV. Was told there were some software problems. Eventually we had to replace the battery and they corrected the problem. However, it went on for three years."

"We experienced several near & below zero days this past winter. Three times the original battery would not turn over the starter after sitting outside for 3 hours or more."

"We are on our 3rd battery! We had to replace the battery for the 3rd at 60000 when it would not start"

"A device called an ACTIVATOR made a strange noise when starting the engine. The warranty covered the $360 problem"

"Dealer replaced ( NEW) complete engine wiring harness. Warning lights: AWD-yellow and Bat-red, indicator that alternator was not recharging battery. Drove car to dealership with lights ON, no issues. Dealer replaced wiring harness, drove 1400 miles"

"honda has a continuing problem with the CVT actuator on the 2008-2015 honda cry's. the actuator on my vehicle has been replaced twice and is a problem once again."

"While starting the car, there was a momentary noise from the engine and then the car operated normally. I thought that the problem was the wet belt slipping in humid days at the start of the motor. Mechanic told me that the problem was the mechanical controller (actuator) for the timing of valve opening and closing for the valve camshaft. He replaced the part and the car starts now without any noise. Operation of the engine remained normal. Belt tensioner was also replaced."

"Sounds like starter stays engaged when starting cold engine. The 2011 Accord had same problems"

"nasty grinding sound when starting, for months, dealer knows, says repair maybe by end of 2015"

"screech/rattle noise on cold starts - Honda has no fix at this time says the Dealer"

"Honda Service Bulletin 12-041 Honda Corp knew there was a defect with the vehicle and because it did not cause a problem in all vehicles, the dealer sold us the car without updating the software. The software error triggered the theft deterrent syst"

"starter re-engages afterwards"

"Made a grinding sound. Covered under warranty"

"grinding sound when below 50 degrees"

"Oil sending unit makes noise every time I start engine"

"In 2019 I started hearing a grinding noise when turning the key to start the car. This happened about 50% of the time. The grinding noise would last for a second or two. It didn't matter if the weather outside was hot or cold. The Honda dealership told me it was the "teeth" on the starter and that it should be replaced which was expensive. I agreed to the fix. It seemed to fix the problem for a month and now the grinding noise has returned. This "grinding noise" when starting the car seems to be a problem with the 2014 Honda CR-V. I've seen this complaint among 2014 Honda CR-V owners on various sites. Not sure why Consumer Reports does not question Honda about this problem since they have influence. Just like the vibration problem on the 2015 Honda CR-V and the fuel-oil dilution problem on the 2018-2019 Honda CR-Vs Consumer Reports does not readily report and FOLLOW-UP on this concerns. In fact, Consumer Reports seems to be losing the trust of the consumer because of this."

"Transmission shuttering, torque converter adjusted under warranty"

"During acceleration from low gear the transmission seems to stutter at the point it should be upshifting."

"At around 50000 miles the vehicle began to shudder during mild acceleration between 25 and 35 mph. The shuddering does not occur with quick acceleration or if the D3 button is depressed. Online forums indicate that this is not an uncommon issue. I have not yet contacted Honda."

"From the time it had 500 miles, rough shifting of the 5-sp auto, esp at very low speeds. Also in very slow-moving traffic"

"Sometimes I experience trying to shift into or out of Park and have a difficult time doing it. Reverse doesn't respond as fast as I think it should"

"shutters when shifting when gently accelerating. When coming to a stop it surges as it downshifts to first gear"

"Between 20-30 mpg when the vehicle is cold, it will shimmy before changing gears. Some days it's very slight, some days very noticeable, some days not at all"

"It wasn't shifting properly--it felt like it might stall out at around 25 mph. It was happening almost every time I drove it and getting worse. I took it to my mechanic and he found that Honda knew about a problem with the transmission. He had to drain/replace the fluid and do some kind of reprogramming or something (I'm not sure). This seems to have solved the problem. He said the next step would be to rebuild it, but so far it's holding up."

"shuddering at 1600rpm--finally improved after transmission fluid flushed and some additive used;now happening again at 90000 miles"

"The transmission is automatic. The entire vehicle shakes when it hits 1900 rpm. Computer says no problem. Difficult to pin down."

"Transmission would shudder when shifting into 3rd gear. Problem linked to torque converter software. Metal filings were found in transmission fluid. Problem seems to have been solved (currently 5 months after service) with re-programming of transmission software and 2 flushes of transmission fluid."

"Problem is under investigation, but occasionally vehicle will momentarily fail to move from a stop - hesitates then lurches forward."

"Transmission chatter at low speed. Honda could not find problem. Car went out of warranty. They made several attempts to correct to no avail. This will be my last Honda.. ????"

"Car would not accelerate coming out of turns"

"the drivetrain make a starnge noise and the gears were delayed/slipping. the shop said the fluid was low. no explanation given as to why"

"Have taken car to dealer 3 times. They cannot find or duplicate problem. Car will not go into gear sometimes, acceleration on freeway is slow or uneven. I'm unable to get any help or response from Honda"

"It starts off jerking and when it downshifts it jerks. When I accelerate it doesn't always keep up and seems to take more time or encouragement to move"

"Transmission was slipping between 25 and 30 miles per hour"

"Between 20-30 mph my car would make a weird bobbling feeling. I took it to the Honda dealer and they replaced something on the transmission. It seems fine now."

"Would shudder at 1600rpm and 26mph in 3rd gear going up slight incline. Finally one tech found similar info on this model and flushed and replaced the transmission fluid that seems to have resolved the problem."

"Happened only occasionally at first, then became regular occurrence. Took to Honda and problem was fixed, no charge."

"Transmission internal leak"

"Second day of ownership I noticed huge amounts of pink fluid on garage floor. Returned car to dealer (who had checked off every item on their new car review as being satisfactory) and they repaired a sealer ring that was incorrectly installed. No a"

"transmission leak was missed by Honda dealer but found by my private mechanic. It was covered by warranty. No issues other than the fact that we found a leak"

"my tire warning light continues to come on when tires are properly inflated; had to undergo 6 hours of computer updates to fix that problem. affected other warning lights too.update appears to have resolved problem, but it has only been two weeks s"

"Honda Service Bulletin 12-041. Honda Corp knew there was a defect with the vehicle and because it did not cause a problem in all vehicles, the dealer sold us the car without updating the software. The software error triggered the theft deterrent sys"

"recall for engine noise when starting"

"It was a sensor associated with the timing chain, that when replaced completely solved the problem. It would have been covered under warranty had I not put so many miles on before recognizing the problem. The dealer was extremely helpful."

"Viscosity timing valve clogged. Grinding (metal on metal) noise upon startup. Loss of pickup"

"Engine knock on startup, was a problem after about a year, but Honda denied warranty service. Got worse over time and they then had a bulletin on it but not covered under warranty. warrant expired. After much debate, I remembered i had gotten and extended warranty, and now they will repair the issue. They repaired the issue ( which required to pull the cylinder head and camshaft. They also found a leaking issue in the drive train and repaired it. It cost me noting but a hassle !"

"Diagnosed as an actuator issue and was covered under the original manufacturer's warranty."

"- engine knock / ping every cold start. - rear differential noise (grinding noise) at roll and stop"

"Grinding noise on cold start. Do not remember specific issue, but it was relatively common issue. Fixed under factory warranty"

"Engine makes a clatter when starting, Honda advised that it's an issue with the variable timing system. No resolution is available at this time"

"Clatter on start, sounded like a model T engine (occasional). Repaired under warranty. Just found excessive oil consumption. It went through 1-3/4 quart of oil in 7 thousand miles. The oil life gauge showed 40% oil life left. Supposed to change oil at 10% life. Just happended to check the oil when filling windshield washer fluid. Dip stick did not touch oil in the pan. Added a quart and it was still 3/4 of a quart low. Had the oil changed a couple of days later. The dealer service manager said he had seen some 2013 and 2014 models start using oil between 60-70K miles. He has notified Honda of this incident. We are monitoring the oil level almost daily now. Neither of these conditions are acceptable. The clatter on start up has begun occuring occasionally again. This has also been reported to Honda. I expected much better from Honda. This is very disappointing."

"This is the symptom of the Honda K24 engine cold start rattle that I described in my previous comment. Do an internet search for this and you will find out how widespread this problem is, and how Honda is doing nothing to deal with a design flaw if the vehicle is beyond the warranty period. It is a very expensive repair and some claim that the problem recurs. Used car purchasers would be well advised to know about this before buying a Honda with the 2.4 litre engine."

"Car shakes when idling"

"Replace seal on front left axle"

"I have a slight slow leak in one of my gaskets. Pricy to repair"

"Valve Cover Gasket is leaking, $240 estimate (mostly labor)"

"While in for the first oil change the dealership discovered a improperly installed gasket from the factory"

"Car uses a lot of oil in between routine oil changes. Enough to trigger the low oil pressure light. A car that is 4 years old should not be using 2 quarts of oil between oil changes."

"This issue was a recall from Honda. The paint is peeling off the doors. I took the car to the dealer to fix it, per the instructions I received from Honda. The dealership told me I needed to get quotes from other places. I don't understand why that was necessary, but I got the quotes and submitted them to the dealership. It's been several months and I'm still waiting for them to schedule a time to repaint my car.

"Warning lights indicated the timing belt was stretched with less than 70000 miles on the car. We found many Honda CR-V owners online who experienced the same problem.

We contacted Honda and they did not feel their vehicle was defective and offered no assistance."

"Stretched timing chain. Dealer stated cooperation with coverage from Honda if we paid for 60000 check-up. Proposal was less expensive option, so we agreed. Had timing chain replaced"

"I heard a noise and rattling every time I started car. Investigation lead to dealership replacing timing chain, which Honda paid for part, but I had to paid $400 in labor. This happen at 40,000 miles plus, which is outside 36,000 mile warranty period."

"We had what appeared to be an electrical problem. The dash warning lights were on. Turned out to be the timing chain"

"Drive belt tensioner has been replaced twice under warranty. Made a terrible, brief grinding noise just after starting the engine when cold."

"There symptom is a rattle/knock at cold start-up in the Honda K24 engines used in many Honda models. It is quite common, and Honda is quite aware of it, but will not admit that it is a design flaw. Honda has issued a few technical service bulletins regarding this problem, but it is left for owners to deal with if vehicle is beyond the 3 yr/60,000km warranty period. Honda TSBs say that the VTC the adjusts exhaust camshaft position is faulty, and must be replaced, while most service departments claim that this problem has also caused the timing chain to have stretched, and the chain tensioner and guides need to be replaced as well. This is a big job, requiring a full day of work and many expensive replacement parts. Many owners claim on Honda owner websites, that these repairs do not solve the problem long term. Do a google search for 'Honda K24 cold start rattle', and you will get a feeling for how many vehicles are affected by this and what the owners feel about Honda's lack of ownership for selling an engine with a serious design flaw."

"Since I started driving in 1985 I've changed my oil religiously. With the CRV in the new maintenance minder, I called the dealer early my in ownership of the car to ask if I should change my oil more frequently than the maintenance minder. Both the manual and the dealer said I needed to follow with the maintenance minder. That lead to less frequent oil changes and eventual early wear of my timing belt at about 69,000 miles. I had to have the entire thing replaced for about $1500 earlier this year. In calling an independent Honda mechanic, he said this is a common problem with the maintenance minder. I find that unacceptable, and have never had problems like this with past Honda vehicles. I'll be due to buy a new vehicle in another four or five years, and at that time I will actually consider other brands besides Honda for the first time."

"One month after buying all of the idiot lights kept coming on and cruise wouldn't work. Timing chain was shot. Cost almost $2000 to fix. Only had 59000 miles."

"Was getting an engine code that returned when cleared. Had the timing chain checked and it had stretched and needed to be replaced"

"All of a sudden, knocking/shaking and rough driving stopped and would not restart. Had towed to Honda dealership. Replaced (at 40,000 miles) battery, main belt/chain and water pump."

"I'm still working with Honda on this situation. Not having success yet but the vehicle is still under a extended warranty. Waiting on Honda to finalize there test drive to answer any questions with resolving our issues."

"The Torque Converter was malfunctioning and the transmission would slip. We purchased the extended warranty when we purchased the vehicle so the repairs were covered at no charge at the dealership."

"shuddering in transmission. Fixed once under warranty with flush and reprogramming, but problem recurred. Now needs a new torque converter. Covered under warranty."

"I started getting a shutter in the vehicle when accelerating at about 30,000 miles. It wasn't very severe, and seemed to be better after the transmission oil had been replaced. It came back and I took it in to be looked at when the vehicle had about 45,000 miles on it. They did a software update (which I had to pay for) which appeared to have corrected the problem for awhile. After awhile, the problem returned, and at about 70,000 miles I took the vehicle in, and after doing diagnostics, determined that the torque converter needed to be replace. The service advisor stated that it was the best snapshot they had seen of the problem. The cost of repair was covered by Honda even though the vehicle was out of warranty for drivetrain. It is clear that Honda knew this problem existed, and after a period of time decided to pay for the repairs. Unfortunately, although the problem didn't keep me from driving the vehicle, it was extremely irritating. It took them two years to really address the issue with the vehicle."

"Was some sort of adjustment to it. Was covered by warranty"

"Transmission shudder at low speeds. Diagnosed by Honda dealer and treated with 3 transmission drain and fill attempts. Shudder continued and finally Honda replaced the Torque Converter which resolved the problem"

"The car shimmies or lurches at low rpms at times. A dealer did a preliminary "fix" at no cost. A second "fix" is now scheduled."

"I battle wierd shifting patterns for 4 years and three different dealers didn't find anything. I went to mall of GA Honda and was talking to the service rep who informed me there was a service bulletin on the torque converter to reprogram it via computer or if unable to correct the issue to replace it. On a subsequent scheduled visit Honda was unable to reset via they computer so they replaced it at no charge. No problems since replaced."

"Torque converter slips under load mostly when in 4th gear. Shift points are software controlled."

"Twice the transmission internal leak was fixed under warranty"

"It was making a subtle noise and it was under warranty, so I asked the dealer to fix it. The car ran fine. They determined that the transmission should be replaced."

"Purchased new 2014 CR-V in Oct 2014. First time in the shop at 900 miles. Car would not accelerate coming out of the turn. Told me it was broken axle. Back to the shop for 19 days at 3100 miles this time to completely replace transmission"

"Gear noise at certain speeds. Attributed to ring gear and pinion"

"Transmission kept make a whining sound at highway speed. Honda said faulty transmission and replaced it under warrenty"

"Without any warning or previous symptoms, the transmission failed and had to be replaced"

"Transmission fluid leak, transmission had to be replaced"

"Transmission totally failed while traveling in Newfoundland. Was under warranty but had great difficulty getting it taken care of in Canada. Took 8 weeks.Argued with Honda warranty company about reimbursement.Not a good experience."
